ita -- could it be the type of act they have? I'm guessing that the second word is "act" but I don't know enough about magicians to figure out what the first word might be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aha! Maglev trains are the trains that are levitated off the track by magnetic interaction. I want to try one out.

dcp, by "their" you mean Penn & Teller? I'm still confused, since their video game is called "Smoke & Mirrors" which doesn't fit.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

ita, yes to Penn & Teller, but it's not the title of the game, it's a "feature," a game-within-the-game.

Or so I was told. It sounds more like a prank, of the "Are people really dumb enough to do this?" variety.
